An unknown liquid fills a square container of sides 10 m. What is the density of a material if the pressure 5 m below the surface is 1.6 atm? Assume g=10 m/s^2 and the pressure at the surface of the liquid is 1 atm. Also assume that 1 atm = 10^5 Pa. (Hint: make sure to use the reference surface pressure in solving the problem).
